MacBook Air M1 (2020) Power Button / Touch ID Replacement

MacBook Air M1 (2020) Power Button / Touch ID Replacement Description
On the MacBook Air M1 the power button is also the Touch ID sensor, in the top-right corner of the keyboard. If the button is stuck, cracked, doesn't turn the Mac on, or Touch ID stopped reading your finger, we replace it. There are two options. The aftermarket button ($99) brings back power on and off only: Touch ID will not work with it, because the sensor is paired to your Mac's logic board, so you sign in with your password or an Apple Watch. The genuine Apple button ($139.99) is paired to your Mac with Apple's Repair Assistant, so Touch ID keeps working.

Symptoms this repair should fix:

• Power button stuck, loose or cracked
• Mac won't power on from the button
• Touch ID doesn't recognize your finger
• Touch ID setup fails in System Settings
